I do have a gaming PC... and it does look like visual porn, particularly if I'm not careful what hyperlinks I click.  But I digress.  Also, watch your blood pressure 'fella, don't go killing yourself over a pile of electronics.

God of War 2 is possible on the PS2... Obviously God of War 3 would be possible on the Xbox 360. Degraded or not it doesn't matter, but in truth its a correct statement. If you took the statement God of War 3 = not possible on the Xbox 360 to its logical conclusion, then you would have to say games like Battefield: Bad Company 2 aren't possible on the PS3 OR Xbox 360. Im personally sick of the kind of statements like this, God of War is artistically amazing but in terms of sheer polygons/shaders/physics its surpassed by other titles and that magic isn't lost in the slight translation between the Xbox 360 and PS3.

To date I haven't seen any game on either that I don't think the other couldn't support in principle provided the engine was well coded and optimized for the plaftorm - any difference either way has for the most part been a matter of code optimization leaning towards one platform over the other.

The single definate advantage I see for the PS3 at this point is simply capacity - which impacted FFXIII and to an extent Rage from id.  This simply means that, on a single disk, PS3 can support greater variety of textures, etc. and/or higher resolution cinematics and better audio.

But in terms of the game engine and running it, both seem fairly similar in basic specs from a gaming perspective.
